The <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/us.creative.com\/\">Aurvana Ace and Aurvana Ace 2<\/a> are considered to be the first proper TWS MEMS earbuds available for general consumers. News of their impending arrival first came <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/newatlas.com\/wearables\/creative-xmems-solid-state-microspeakers\/\">back in August<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2009-07-27-nems-takes-step-forward-mems-looking-nervously-over-shoulder.html\">MEMS<\/a> have been used in cellphones for years but haven&#8217;t been capable of integration into earbuds until recently. The technology uses piezos and silicon, compared to typical speakers&#8217; coils and magnets. The claim is that MEMS can produce a sound with higher fidelity and durability while reducing power consumption. For instance, Creative&#8217;s Aurvana Ace series has a frequency ranging from 5Hz to 40KHz.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"end-legacy-contents\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to Creative, the MEMS-based drivers are small flaps placed on silicon chips. &#8220;What makes this technology stand out is how it replicates sound when these flaps swiftly respond to short electrical signals,&#8221; the company explains. &#8220;In doing so, these drivers are able to generate sound waves that closely mimic the way users naturally hear sounds in the world around them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Creative Aurvana Ace will retail for $130 and the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 will go for $150. Along with MEMS, both earbuds also have hybrid ANC, six built-in microphones and up to 24 hours of playtime. Each set is also IPX5 certified, meaning you can <a data-i13n=\"cpos:6;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/best-wireless-workout-headphones-191517835.html\">sweat all you want while wearing them<\/a>. They are available for pre-order starting November 10, though an official release date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/creative-unveils-first-true-wireless-headphones-with-mems-drivers-110525999.html?src=rss&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Engadget &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/creative-unveils-first-true-wireless-headphones-with-mems-drivers-110525999.html?src=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative unveils first true wireless headphones with MEMS drivers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first step towards potentially an entire new type of listening experience is upon us.
